Developing countries face disastrous healthcare setbacks, hunger and huge international debt as covid-19’s ‘final wave’
The International Development Committee (IDC) today warns that a legacy of humanitarian and development reversals and crises could be more catastrophic than the direct impacts of covid-19 in developing countries. The IDC’s latest report comes as the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs is set to appear before IDC members for the first time.
The IDC’s inquiry found that routine healthcare in some countries is grinding to a halt; vulnerable economies risked failure under rising levels of national debt; people across the Global South were more in fear of threats of job losses and starvation than the pandemic; and the virus, and its counter-measures, were increasing levels of gender-based violence, child marriages and other challeng

Investing in effective, sustainable climate information services is a vital part of adapting to climate change, especially in Africa, a new research report by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) reveals.
The report dubbed
‘Investing for sustainable climate services: Insights from the African experience’ looks at the support provided in strengthening weather and climate information services in several African countries from 2016 to 2021.
The research calls for governments on the continent to make accessible weather and climate information services, which is viewed by scientists as tools that may offer effective adaptation capacities to communities and businesses around Africa.
The findings come ahead of the Climate Adaptation Ambition Summit on 25th and 26th January 2021, to be attended by world leaders including Boris Johnson, Emmanuel Macron, and Sheikh Hasina.
Science output up, but data-driven investment needed
African scientists’ share of the world’s publications has been increasing and more of the research published by scientists from the continent is being cited, but more regular, reliable and comprehensive data on research universities in Africa is needed to ensure that imminent decisions related to investing in the continent’s universities are well-directed.
Knowledge collaboration between high-income countries and countries in Africa has been dominated traditionally by primary education. Collaboration in the areas of higher education and research was seen as a ‘luxury activity’ and has, in essence, been limited to educational and administrative capacity-building and short-term applied research and consultancy projects, as well as scholarships for African students to study at universities in the North.
